Jake Paul appeared to beat Tyron Woodley in convincing fashion months after a split decision win, but some fans still think there was something suspicious about how the fight ended.
On Saturday night, Paul viciously knocked out Woodley in the sixth round of their fight after Woodley dropped his left hand and got hit with a looping right hand.

During his post-fight press conference, Woodley said that he had no idea why he dropped his hand.
“I went back and looked at it and I’m like why the fuck did I drop my hand? I knew it was coming, I was ready to block the overhand, I don’t know if he delayed it, even if he did delay it, I don’t know why I dropped my hand.”
